| About: | This casual Village spot delivers some of New York City's finest seafood. The restaurant is blessed with the perfect neighborhood, it is close to the subway and in the center of the downtown action. The decor is simple and the room is tiny, but the food definitely makes up for these flaws. Sample some raw oysters at the raw bar, or try the lobster roll served on a hot dog bun. Former partner Mary Redding recently left to open the equally popular Mary's Fish Camp on West 4th Street. |

After reading the reviews, I just had to find out for myself...The lobster rolls were only ok...definately not the "best ever" unless you love mayo (I prefer mine on the light side if at all)..although the lobster you could taste seemed very fresh...apparently you cannot request less mayo as they mix the lobster and mayo in batches earlier in the day...It was good, but I would not order again...(I really prefer true lobster roll--warm on toasted bun with butter..but that's me)...the fries were pretty good and even better with the vinegar...
I also had the mussels w/cream sauce..very good..would highly recommend trying...also the pie is truly outstanding...even though they will not serve it warm...I would go back for the pie, mussels, but definately not the lobster roll.
Also..just a hint..I would not order the salad..when looking around I noticed the food handler mixing it with her hand, no gloves on...her hands may have been clean, but how do you know?
Amazing!: They have the best Lobster Rolls.
It Truly is GREAT!!!: I can truly say I love going here. My friends and I always venture over for lunch. The Lobster Roll is to DIE FOR!!!! Great setting. Great area. Great ice tea... Great Great Great!!!
